Electronics for lathes
Sensor systems and condition monitoring components contribute to:
- increased productivity
- high level of machine safety
- effective mechanical efficiency
- high quality machining
The HYDAC portfolio includes sensors to display, check and monitor pressure, fluid temperatures, tank level, flow rate, and workpiece support.
Electronics cover:
- Pressure transmitters/pressure switches
- Linear position and distance sensors
- Level switch/level transmitter
- Temperature transmitter/temperature switch
Hydraulics for lathes
The frequency controlled compact power unit CO3 in combination with the decentralised manifold stacking system HL, which acts as the control logic, serves all the main and secondary hydraulic functions in a lathe.
The central function is the operation of the chuck.
Reliable supply of the clamping pressure, as well as exact setting and control, is of prime importance for the functioning of the lathe.
In addition, all the secondary functions, such as tailstock, steady, turret, lubrication, and parts gripper etc can be controlled simply and efficiently with the modular manifold system.
Hydraulics covers:
- Compact Power Unit CO3
- HL controls
- HL manifold stacking system versus conventional stacking
Cooling lubricant for lathes
To supply the cooling lubricant, HYDAC offers piston control or coaxial valves.
Inline, duplex changeover and backflushing filters are available to protect high pressure pumps in instances where driven tooling with an internal coolant is used.
Cooling lubricant covers:
- Coaxial valves direct and external pilot
- Inline filters DF/FLND/FMND
- Automatic backflushing filter AutoFilt RF4
- Process Booster Block PBB
Cooling for lathes
HYDAC supplies active and passive cooling systems for cooling spindles, motors, axes, control cabinets and fluids in lathes.
High power motor spindles require a safe and fault-free fluid system with which other drives can also be cooled if necessary.
The return cooling can be achieved by means of an air, water, or refrigeration system.
Cooling covers:
- Fluid/air cooling systems FLKS
- Fluid/water cooling systems FWKS
- Refrigerated Fluid Cooler RFCS
- Control Cabinet Cooler HCC
System solutions for lathes
Intelligent integration of HYDAC products creates innovative and technologically advanced subsystems and complete systems.
Cylinders with an integrated distance measuring system, hydraulic counterbalance and fluid panels minimise interface numbers, reduce installation costs, and increase machine availability.
System solutions include:
- Cylinder with integrated distance measuring system
- Hydraulic counterbalance
- Fluid panel
